[PATCH] vfs: Check attribute names in posix acl xattr handers

[Andreas Gruenbacher]

The get and set operations of the posix acl xattr handlers failed to check
the attribute names, so all names with "system.posix_acl_access" or
"system.posix_acl_default" as a prefix were accepted.  Reject invalid names
from now on.
